Cosphaderm® Pentiol Natural
Cosphaderm® Pentiol Natural is a pure, transparent, colourless and odourless glycol of natural origin. Two vicinal OH-groups and a short carbon chain allow unlimited water-solubility. This property is strongly relevant to its most common cosmetic use as a moisturizer and humectant for both skin and hair care formulations. Static light scattering experiments have shown that Cosphaderm® Pentiol natural can also be used to stabilize o/w emulsions by droplet size reduction. Another property of pentylene glycol is its pH-independent antimicrobial activity. It further shows remarkable synergistic effects in combination with other antimicrobial substances, making it possible to minimize the total amount of combined preserving agents.

As an established vitamin C derivative it can be used in skin whitening approaches. The main application of ascorbyl palmitate is to act as a radical scavenger and stop oxidative radical chain reactions or even regenerate depleted antioxidants. By this means, Cosphaderm® AP achieves protection of unsaturated fat and oil components on its own or in synergy with other antioxidants like tocopherols or rosemary extract.
